## Abstract Hyposmolarity (βˆ’30%) in cultured cerebellar astrocytes raised cytosolic Ca^2+^ concentration ([Ca^2+^]~i~) from 160 to 400 nM and activated the osmosensitive taurine release (OTR) pathway. Although OTR is essentially [Ca^2+^]~i~‐independent, further increase in [Ca^2+^]~i~ by ionomycin
